Today is National Endangered Species Day! The National Wildlife Federation established this special day with the support of Congress to celebrate the success of the US Endangered Species Act that passed in 1973. This year's theme is "Celebrating Wildlife Comeback Stories". Since it's passing over 50 years ago Michigan has seen 36 species removed from our endangered species list!!!! Of course there is always work to be done, as the 2023 list includes 58 new species that are now threatened. Take a minute today to learn about our successes and what we can continue to do to help the flora and fauna of Michigan thrive.

We had an incredibly fun troop at the camp on Tuesday. They worked on finishing their simple meals badge with a tour of our kitchen, knife safety lesson carving chocolate and then cooking breakfast sandwiches with a side veggie platter and fruit/chocolate fondue made with their carved chocolate. After bellies were full we enjoyed a nature hike, campfire with s'mores and songs, and finished the day with a round of slingshots. These Girl Scouts certainly packed in a ton of fun on their day off of school!

Girl Scouts are making memories (and masterpieces) at camp! From crafting beautiful leather nature journals, to cooking delicious treats over the fire, to crate stacking indoors - every moment is packed with laughter, confidence, and adventure.

Watching these girls try new things, cheer each other on, and grow braver by the minute is what it’s all about. 💫

Here’s to friendship, fresh air, and fearless fun!
